- Mix 200g of flour and all the salt in a bowl.
- Pour water to the mix until everything is well homogenous, the mixture should resemble more of pancake batter now.
⏰ Let it rest for around 10 min.
- Add a handful of flour and mix until it's all one liquid again.
Repeat this step until the structure of the dough becomes really soft, deform with minimal pressure, not sticky on the outside, but as soon as you're using more force on it's surface.
⏰ Let it rest again for around one hour.
- Get the dough out of the bowl, and knead with your hands until the dough get's a bit warmer.
